1 Amazing Grace

1Amazing Grace BY JOHN NEWTON 1. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I’m free. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fear relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. 3. Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come; 'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far, And grace will lead us on. 4. When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we’d first begun. 5. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I'm free. 2Just aCloser Walk With Thee TRADITIONAL 1. Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea; Daily walking close with Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 2. Through the days of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. 3. When my feeble life is o'er Time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely on To thy shore, dear Lord, to thy shore. 4. I am weak, but Thou art strong. Jesus, keep me from all wrong. I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. REPEAT VERSE 1 3Will the Circle be Unbroken ? BY A. P. CARTER 1. I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day, When I saw that hearse come rolling For to take my mother away. CHORUS: Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye? There's a better home awaiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky. 2. Undertaker, undertaker, Undertaker, please drive slow. For the body you're a-carrying, Lord, I hate to see her go. 3. Well, I followed close behind her, Tried to hold up and be brave. But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave. 4. I was singing with my sisters; I was singing with my friends. And we all can sing together ‘Cause the Circle never ends 4Diamonds in the Rough BY A. P. CARTER 1. While walking out one evening, not knowing where to go, Just to pass the time away before we held our show; I heard a little mission band, playing with all their might. I gave my soul to Jesus, and left the show that night. 2. The day will soon be over, and evening will begun; No more gems to be gathered, so let us all press on. When Jesus comes to claim us, and says it is enough, The diamonds will be shining, no longer in the rough. 5Keep on the Sunny Side BY A. P. CARTER 1. There's a dark and troubled side of life; There's a bright and sunny side too. Though we meet with darkness and strife, The sunny side we also may view. CHORUS: Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life. It will help us every day, It will brighten all the way, If we keep on the sunny side of life. 2. The storm and its fury broke today, Breaking hopes we cherish so dear. Clouds and storms will in time pass away, The sun will shine again bright and clear. CHORUS 3. Let us greet with a song of hope each day, Though the moment be cloudy or fair. Let us trust in our Savior always, To keep us every one in His care. CHORUS 6When the Saints go Marching in TRADITIONAL We are traveling in the footsteps of those who've gone before, But we'll all be reunited on a new and sunlit shore. 1. Oh when the saints go marching in, Oh when the saints go marching in, Oh Lord, I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in. 2. And when the sun begins to shine, And when the sun begins to shine, Oh Lord, I want to be in that number, When the sun begins to shine. 3. Oh when the trumpet sounds the call, Oh when the trumpet sounds the call, Oh Lord, I want to be in that number, When the trumpet sounds that call. 4. Some say this world of trouble is The only one we need; But I'm waiting for that morning When the new world is revealed. 5. Oh, when the new world is revealed, Oh, when the new world is revealed, Oh Lord, I want to be in that number, When the new world is revealed. REPEAT VERSE 1 7Midnight Special BY HUDDIE LEDBETTER 1. Well, you wake up in the morning, Hear the ding-dong ring. You go marching to the table, See the same damn thing. Well, ain’t no food upon the table; No fork up in the pan; Ever say a thing about it, You'd be in trouble with the man. CHORUS: Let the midnight special Shine her light on me. Let the midnight special Shine her ever-loving light on me. 2. Yonder comes Miss Rosie. How in the world do you know? Well, I know her by her apron, And the dress that she wore; Umbrella on her shoulder, Piece of paper in her hand; She goes marching to the captain, says, "I want to free my man." CHORUS 3. If you ever go to Houston, You better walk right, You better not stagger, You better not fight. Sheriff Benson will arrest you; He'll carry you down, And if the jury finds you guilty, You're penitentiary bound. CHORUS 8Who will Speak aWord of Warning? MUSIC THOMAS J. WILLIAMS LYRICS RICHARD LEACH 1. Who will speak a word of warning to a world whose wealth expands. As the growing wealth is gathered into ever fewer hands? Christ, you speak a word of warn---ing for the church to know and tell: Greed is death and life is giving; hands that give receive as well. 2. Who will speak a word of warning to a world where truth gives way, As the claims of power and priv’lege shift and shape the truth each day? Christ, you speak a word of warning for the church to heed and share: Truth is not the claims of power! Truth is hurt and hope and prayer. 3. Who will speak a word of welcome to the greatest and the least, Calling those with power to service, calling all to share the feast? Christ, you speak a word of welcome, for the church to tell and live: All who hunger, come, be seated; take what Christ is here to give. 9Last Night Ihad the Strangest Dream BY ED MCCURDY 1. Last night I had the strangest dream I'd ever dreamed before; I dreamed the world had all agreed To put an end to war. 2 I dreamed I saw a mighty room All filled with women and men, And the paper they were signing said They'd never fight again. 3. And when the paper was all signed And a million copies made, They all joined hands and bowed their heads And grateful prayers were prayed. 4. And the people in the streets below Were dancing 'round and 'round, While swords and guns and uniforms Were scattered on the ground. REPEAT VERSE 1 10 So Long, it's Been Good to Know You BY WOODY GUTHRIE 1. I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again, Of the places I've been on the wild windy plain. In the month of April, the county called Gray, Here's what all of the people there say: It's... CHORUS: So long, it's been good to know you, So long, it's been good to know you, So long, it's been good to know you, This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home And I got to be drifting along. 2. That dust storm came, and it came like thunder; It dusted us over and it covered us under; It blocked out the traffic and blocked out the sun, And straight for home all the people did run, singing... CHORUS 3. The sweethearts sat in the dark and they sparked; They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark; They sighed, they cried, they hugged and they kissed; Instead of marriage, they were talking like this: Honey... CHORUS 4. The telephone rang, and it jumped off the wall. That was the preacher, a-making her call. She said, "Kind friend, this may be the end; You got your last chance for salvation of sin." 5. Well, the church it was jammed, The church it was packed. That dusty old dust storm blowed so black The preacher could not read a word of her text, So she folded her specs, took up the collection, said... CHORUS 11 Joe Hill BY EARL ROBINSON AND ALFRED HAYES 1. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, Alive as you and me. Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead." "I never died", said he. "I never died", said he. 2. "In Salt Lake, Joe, by God," says I, Him standing by my bed, "They framed you on a murder charge." Said Joe, "But I ain't dead." Said Joe, "But I ain't dead." 3.
